Very nice.

Previous 4 cars were European luxury performance cars so I was hesitant to buy the Jetta. But the GLI model comes close for much less money. I have not had one issue in 6 months of ownership.

It returns 36 MPG on the highway (more than rated) and Im averaging 30+ MPG (overall) since purchasing in July of 2017. To top it off, it is FUN to drive. I am pleasantly surprised with the car - one of our best purchases - ever.…
